Sarah's Advanced Method Overview

You are recommended to first read Sarah's intermediate method page, if you are not familiar with intermediate method.

Step 1: Solve the first side.

Step 2: Solve the opposite side (corners and opposite center) and remaining centers together.

Sarah's Intermediate Algorithm Enhanced

The first improvement from Sarah's intermediate is to memorize an optimized algorithm when the original execution was triple Sledge/Hedge.

There were three cases with triple S/H, which we provide the optimal algorithm in NS notation.

y x r' B R r R' B r' B'

y x r R' r B r' R B

x B' r R' r' B r R r'

The second improvement is to learn the L4C algorithms. (WIP)

We skip U perm, Z perm, H perm.

If there are only 3 centers to be swapped, it can be set up to U perm with one set up move, and then reverse.

It's very straightforward to figure out, but you may experiment whether you want to have a cancellation move at the reverse step.

All the remaining cases have one side face solved, and top face unsolved.

They can be setup to the following triple sledge case either with (using NS algorithm notation) L' move S S S L move (cancel one move at the end) or R move S S S R' move (cancen one move at the beginning).
